Oak Valley Golf Club

This course only has a minimal amount of trees coming into play, but there is a lot of desert brush and heather lining the fairways. The fairways are medium to wide in width and are undulating with mounds on the sides, resulting in many irregular lies. Water hazards come into play on four of the back nine holes. The greens are undulating, fast and well-manicured. There are sand bunkers on the fairways and around the greens, most being large and deep. In addition, there are some grass bunkers. Many of the tees and greens are elevated. The front nine wanders through the hills with many tee shots into the valley below. Wind can be a factor in the afternoons. The signature hole is #16, a 523-yard, par 5, which generally plays directly into the wind and is uphill all the way. Hole #3, a 185-yard, par 3, is a very pretty hole where you tee off from a cliff that is about 100 feet above the green. There are twilight rates available; contact the pro shop for times of availability. A new clubhouse opened in 1999.

Course Reviews

Indian Hills Country Club"Great course...Great Views"Course is in great shape. Fun to play. Greens are new and roll great. Friendly staff. Overall a great experience.---Barbara, San Diego

Meadows Golf Club"Challenging for public"This is one of the best, and most challenging, public courses in the Denver metro area. The only downfall for the Meadows is the pace of play during the weekends. Overall, the Meadows is a must play.---Justin, Littleton, CO USA

Mayfair Country Club"Nastalgic Ross Course"The Mayfair course brings us back to a time where the longest hitters on the PGA only drove the ball 250 yards. This means that for the majority of men today, you can play this course like the pro's play their championship 7200 yard courses. A good tee shot leaves you with a 7 to 9 iron approach. The signiture Donald Ross Turtle back greens are high and sloped and need to be navagated with thought.
The open fairways mean that for the average golfer that is in the fringe or ruff you can still play on without haveing to take too many penality strokes like you do on some narrow house lined courses.
In short, this course is beautiful with its tree lined fairways and a good challenge for the average golfer. If money value for course were a catagory this would be a five star.---Don Woody, Sanford, FL

Children's Course, The"Wonderful Course"Wonderful course for kids and adults of all skill levels.---Jake Wiethers, Portland Or
